FIG. 3.5 – Acidic reassociation of Carcinus <strong>maenas</strong> hemocyanin by formic acid. Left part, mass<br />

spectra of a whole hemolymph sample dissociated in 10 mM AcNH4, 0.03 % TEA <strong>and</strong> acidified<br />

with increasing quantities of formic acid (0, 0.004, 0.0045 <strong>and</strong> 0.04 % formic acid for pH 8.55, 7.94,<br />

7.7 <strong>and</strong> 4.22, respectively). For pH 4.22, the isoelectric point is passed since a precipitate forms for<br />

slightly higher pH values. m, monomers peaks, h, hexamer peaks (450 kDa), d, dodecamer peaks<br />

(900 kDa), dl, light dodecamer peaks (885 kDa). Right part, focus for each mass spectrum on the<br />

4300-4600 m/z range, in which the 17 H+ charged peak of each monomer is expected. The presence<br />

or absence of each dissociated subunit can be determined by examining the peaks visible in this m/z<br />

range.
